MIPAR has received a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to evaluate Maryland's innovative program to help people with severe mental illness find meaningful work.

Anne Roland MIPAR has received a three year, $1 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to evaluate Maryland's innovative program to help people with severe mental illness find meaningful work. The Maryland Mental Health Administration (MHA) started a program in 2002 to increase the accessibility and availability of evidence-based individual placement and support for supported employment services (EBP IPS-SE) for people with severe mental illness. EBP IPS-SE programs emphasize competitive employment, client choice, on the job training and continuous support. IPS-SE programs also include employer incentives to participate. This project will study the experience of Maryland's public health system in facilitating the diffusion of IPS-SE services in the state. David Salkever (Public Policy) is the co-investigator. Researchers from UMBC's Hilltop Institute will also participate in the project along with researchers from University of Maryland, Baltimore. tag:www.umbc.edu,2011:/blogs/mipar//75.15329 2011-10-11T20:14:11Z 2012-04-05T14:41:02Z

Anne Roland A new research project funded by the Department of Defense, "Developing a Meaningful Life: Social Reintegration of Service Members and Veterans with Spinal Cord Injury," will focus on psycho-social issues associated with recovery from spinal cord injury. Investigators will survey military service members and veterans who survive battlefield trauma with spinal cord injuries in order to determine how they make the transition back to social participation with their families and communities. Dr. Seth Messinger (Sociology) is the principal investigator. This project is being conducted in partnership with Wayne State University. tag:www.umbc.edu,2011:/blogs/mipar//75.15104 2011-06-21T19:05:23Z 2011-10-11T20:20:46Z

Anne Roland Gambling Prevalence in Maryland: A Baseline Analysis, prepared by a team from MIPAR. The team was led by Dr. Judith Shinogle, along with Dr. Donald F. Norris (Public Policy) and Dr. DoHwan Park (Mathematics and Statistics). The survey of gambling habits and pathological gambling behaviors found that although gambling is largely a positive activity for Marylanders, 3.4% of Maryland adults experience problem or pathological gambling. The baseline study, mandated by a 2007 law that authorized video lottery terminals, provides a snapshot of the State’s gambling behaviors prior to the implementation of slot machine gambling. In “Who Pays for the Maryland Lottery? Evidence From Point of Sale Data” Dr. Robert Carpenter (Economics), Dr. Donald F. Norris (Public Policy) and Ph.D student Evan Perlman used innovative GIS mapping of lottery terminal and census track data to explore the relationship between race, income, and lottery sales. Their findings show “the voluntary tax collected by the Maryland lottery comes disproportionately from census tracts populated by African Americans and low-income residents,” specifically those “with less than a high-school education, and people age 65 and older.” The article appears in The Journal of Gambling Business and Economics, Vol. 4, No. 1 (31-52).]]> tag:www.umbc.edu,2010:/blogs/mipar//75.14216 2010-12-13T17:42:29Z 2012-05-23T19:41:16Z
